More quotes by Rudyard Kipling
The python dropped his head lightly for a moment on Mowgli's shoulders. A brave heart and a courteous tongue, said he. They shall carry thee far through the jungle, manling.

Rudyard Kipling
As I pass through my incarnations in every age and race... and the hearts of the meanest were humbled.

Rudyard Kipling
When a crew and a captain understand each other to the core, it takes a gale, and more than a gale, to put their ship ashore.
Rudyard Kipling
All gods have good points, just as have all priests. Personally, I attach much importance to Hanuman , and am kind to his people the great gray apes of the hills. One never knows when one may want a friend.
Rudyard Kipling
Politicians. Little Tin Gods on Wheels.
Rudyard Kipling
There are nine-and-sixty ways of constructing tribal lays, And every single one of them is right.

Who has smelled the woodsmoke at twilight, who has seen the campfire burning, who is quick to read the noises of the night?
Rudyard Kipling
Meddling with another man's folly is always thankless work.
Rudyard Kipling
